Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 4, 2007, the Board of Directors of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”)
amended Article VI of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to allow for the
issuance of uncertificated shares of the Company’s capital stock. The Board of Directors adopted
this amendment, which became effective on December 4, 2007, in response to new Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and New York Stock Exchange listing standards which require securities
listed on the New York Stock Exchange to be eligible for a direct registration system by January
2008.
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Bylaws, as amended by such amendment, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. This copy has been “black-lined” to
show such amendment to the Bylaws.
